Polish Promoter Offers McGregor 3x His UFC Salary To Fight His Champ

UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor was officially pulled from the “UFC 200” event last week, and was replaced by Jon “Bones” Jones and Daniel Cormier this past Wednesday. While the drama surrounding his absence from the July pay-per-view seems to be concluded, the tension behind the scenes are likely still there.

McGregor had his sights set on Nate Diaz for revenge purposes. He lost their first meeting at “UFC 196” where he earned a $1,000,000 payday, and essentially demanded a rematch take place. The company eventually gave him what he wanted at “UFC 200” but they were forced to pull him from the card when he refused to make the require number of media appearances.

Once news came out that he was off the card, promoters came out of the woodworks shelling out millions to have McGregor fight for them. A promoter from FIGHT NIGHTS in Russia offered McGregor $2,000,000 to be featured on an upcoming event. Now, Poland-based KSW Co-Owner Maciej Kawulski is upping the stakes:

Hey @TheNotoriousMMA we'd like to up the stakes. We offer you 3 mln $ to face KSW current FW champ. How 'bout that?

KSW has officially offered McGregor three-times what he earned at “UFC 196” to fight their champion Artur Sowinski, but the dispute between McGregor and the UFC doesn’t seem to be about money. How do you think all of this will play out?
